Error parsing 277 file

[eddyizm]

I'm trying to parse a 277 file via the command line tool first. It looks like i need to specify a map path but I'm doing something wrong. I get a type error, which I'm guessing it's because i'm on the latest python 3.8.2

So I ended up working around this. The validation was failing because the 2200C loop is conditional and not mandatory. I need to go into the code to find how to update that.

I ended up figuring this out when going to the x12XML and convert to xml. Verified the output was correct by using the -v flag and ran into another issue.
x12xml -v "env/193592.20200803220823730_Sample.CLI.277.edi"
log:
2020-08-19 14:46:39,741 ERROR Line:16 SEG:3 - Mandatory loop "Provider of Service Information Trace Identifier" (2200C) missing 2020-08-19 14:46:39,747 ERROR Input file had errors.

when removing the verbose flag, it throws an error:

x12xml "env/193592.20200803220823730_Sample.CLI.277.edi" -o output.xml Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/eddyizm/Documents/py_edi_import/env/bin/x12xml", line 8, in <module> sys.exit(main()) File "/home/eddyizm/Documents/py_edi_import/env/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pyx12/scripts/x12xml.py", line 85, in main if args.verbose > 0: TypeError: '>' not supported between instances of 'NoneType' and 'int'

So I updated the x12xml.py file (line 85):
if args.verbose > 0: logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
to
if args.verbose: if args.verbose > 0: logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
Just trying to move forward, probably doesn't fix the root cause as mentioned above but it does let me convert the file and then move on to the next step of ingesting the file.
